Just like the topic asks, does anyone know how refrigerator magnets work? More specifically why do they only stick to one side and not the other?

It would be real helpful if someone drew or knows the shape of the inside of a refr. magnet


Thanks in advance this is a difficult question, i know.
 
Oooooooookay!

It has to do with the motion of the weebodisk causing molecular subluxations in a monopole direction. Easy!
 
if you want a serious answer i want to hear your thoughts on why you think it is. I'm curious on whether or not you put thought into it.
 
These people have it all wrong. Refrigerator magnets are actually alive and the flow of Chi makes them stick on one side, and not the other. Practitioners of Feng Shui know refrigerator magnets for the powerful beacons of spiritual light and harmony that they are. If you put them all over the place you are guaranteed to live a full and balanced life. They keep evil spirits away too!
 


<< Thanks in advance this is a difficult question, i know >>



this is a fairly easy answer ( when you find out the answer you'll say &quot;doh!&quot😉
 
Actually, refrigerator magnets aren't magnets, at all. They're cold seeking osculators. When they sense cold on the other side of the refrigerator door, they suck real hard to try to get through it. Good thing refrigerator doors are made of steel.
 
Umm.. ok i know some answers here are serious and some are not, can someone verify one of the answers to be the correct one. This is for a physics project... oh ya, the professor also asked of the inside shape of a refrigerator magnet... any ideaS?

thanks to all those that replied..
 
poor kid

go do some research on your own...
its not hard, and you'll learn more.


but if your too lazy...Ameesh's was pretty gd....
 
You mean you don't have one?:Q

I always just put them on the inside, never had a problem with one and never have had some Professor ask some unanswerable question either...😕
 
damn its not like a huge project, its for 1 extra point on the damn exam... and trust me i need all the points i can get. Anyway i tried many sites and they dont go into specifics... about &quot;refrigerator&quot; magnets.
 
Are you serious? Have you been awake in physics class? I'll give you a hint, given 2 magnets, what happens when 2 like poles (both north or both south) are near each others? What about when they are different?
 


<< More specifically why do they only stick to one side and not the other? >>



Is this a quiz! Maybe one side of the frig is non-magnetic?😉

Double door or single? Top or bottom freezer?

This looks like a very credible answer, is this correct? Can someone add to this?

btw, can we please focus on *my* question.. please... whoever quizzed me, you can PM me and ill explain to you what magnetism is all about and why like poles repel and opposite poles attract, etc. etc... but for now, i'd really like an answer.
 
It's those DAMN dilithium crystals again..


And after reading your last post, you are either a very bad troll, or in need of special education..
 
ok look its a regular refrigerator magnet... they all stick only from one side, it has nothing to do with the plastic sh!t because a simple moron could say that... this is some kind of a trick question and i believe only Harvery hit the nail on the head with his answer but i'd just like someone to verify his answer.
 
refridagtor magnets are NOT SOLID STEEL - they are pieces of magnitzed iron MIXED with plastic. this makes the magnetic property very weak - just enough to hold on to the steel on the fridge.

however, that's just on one side (the black side) of the magnet. the other side is just plastic, which is not magnetic and blocks the VERY WEAK magnetic properties of the iron-embedded side. this is how they work and why they only work on one side.

nevertheless, you CAN still stick some magnets on the &quot;wrong&quot; side, only that it will fall off with the slightest breeze. in this case, the magnetized side is a little stronger than normal, and can penerate the pure plastic side a little better.

hope this helps!
